Well I picked it up three weeks ago and have 2600 miles stacked up already. It's living up to expectation - stacks of torque and power (that coming from a Z06 owner) and handles just fine; steering a little light, but well balanced through the bends and the 20inch wheels eat up bumpy or uneven roads like my Range Rover used to. Auto is okay - as good as any six speeder and the paddle shift manual works well, but unless you buy one for a heavy commute (which I did) then go for the manual...

Looks nice. thumbup I'm planning to get one when I move to Indy next spring. Fancy black but it looks well in your colour. I'd be interested to know what sort of a deal you got...

More Pics below. I paid US list price - ordered back in April when I was lucky not to pay a premium. Not sure you'd do any better than list as dealers still seem hard pressed to get their hands on them.

Nice to see some 'real life' pics at last. We've been fed the same few factory shots for months and months.
The steering wheel in the interior shot looks huge! Whole car looks big in the pic with the other blue Camaro.

Ok. I'm hoping by next spring that they will have burnt through the initial demand and may be looking to deal. I know that dealers in Indy have stock available for immediate delivery now so in a few months time hopefully....

Steering wheel is small and sporty - those are my (small) wife's hands. I was relegated to the back seat by my wife and daughter. That I suppose is a sign of how popular the car is. At least I could fit nicely.
